I'm really pleased how it's turned out. I've got some pink flanelette for the backing as I wanted it to be snuggly and warm. Just need to get the wadding and sew all the layers together and then attempt to quilt it.

I've done this over 2 nights and an afternoon. I'm still slow and my machine is only very basic but someone with more experience and a better machine could do it faster

I had to watch the you tube clip because I couldn't work out how it was made. Impressive!
